Species tulips often have more natural-looking blooms than their hybrid relatives. Tulipa linifolia, known as the flax-leaved tulip, holds the Royal Horticultural Society's prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM). It produces narrow, greyish-green leaves and bright red flowers. The petals of Tulipa linifolia form a wide bowl shaped flower, with a hint of black at the base.
